I didn't intend to be provocative.
Some of you have lost good friends as a result of this - the anger is entirely understandable.
My point r/e get home-itis was more around the focus on achieving a set task within a set time frame causing fixation on that outcome, and becoming one of the human factors in the chain of events that caused the crash.
Tenerife is an example - a highly experienced, multi-engine heavy rated Captain fixating on getting out and home - I've read that accident report in detail.
Anyway - maybe enough said.
Fly safe.
